YAK Car Pic of the Day

Looks like someone forgot to slam the hood shut on this 1972 Mercury Marquis after checking the oil… or maybe stealing the battery! In the brochure, Mercury told us they “…designed this medium-priced car to have the same kind of smoothness and steadiness of motion you’d expect in cars costing four times as much.” Which I guess is what one would expect from a car this large and heavy, just due to the laws of physics. Saw this car at least five years ago in a yard in Perry.
